My hometown is in Anyuan County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, a typical hilly area where red potatoes are abundant, and red potato starch is produced by processing red potatoes, which is a staple dish on local tables. My most cherished dish is called 'Liukua' (Smooth Meat). Whenever I have guests at home or hold a casual banquet, I always make sure to include this dish. Guests love it, chefs enjoy making it, and everyone from adults to children praises it enthusiastically, creating a feeling of 'no Liukua, no happiness',Probably because I've loved this dish since childhood, I still enjoy making Liukua regularly, especially in cold winters when a hot bowl of Liukua warms you from the inside out. Now, I'd like to share the recipe with you,Ingredients,Genuine red potato starch, pork loin, white radish, eggs, scallions, ginger, garlic, salt, chicken broth, oyster sauce, white pepper, Sichuan peppercorns,Steps,First step,Cut the pork loin into slices, chop scallions, ginger, and garlic for later use.

Second step,Wash and cut the white radish into chunks,Third step,Add appropriate amount of red potato starch, one egg, chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, white pepper, and chicken broth to the pork slices, then mix well,Fourth step,Add water to the pot, add ginger slices, and bring the white radish to a boil until it's fully cooked,Fifth step,Add the appropriately amount of boiling water to the well mixed meat paste,Sixth step,Use chopsticks to gently drop the meat paste into the pot and cook until the meat floats to the surface,Seventh step,Add a small amount of salt to the soup, take it out of the pot, and sprinkle with chopped scallions,Notes,When making the Liukua paste, you must control the amount of water well, it shouldn't be too much, nor too little. If too much, the Liukua won't take shape, if too little, the texture will be bad. If you can pick it up with a chopsticks and it doesn't fall down, that's the best state,When making Liukua, you must add boiling water, otherwise it will be cloudy,You can also add some leafy vegetables such as pea shoots, lettuce, spinach, etc. to the Liukua when it's almost done.

The red potato starch must be genuine red potato starch, otherwise it will be cloudy, and the Liukua will not have a good texture or luster,When making the meat paste, you must add an egg, otherwise the Liukua will not have a good texture or luster,That's my sharing of Liukua soup, it's easy to learn. If you like it, go ahead and make it. It's very delicious!
